If you've cooked a large ham for Easter or any other family gathering, you're probably going to have leftovers. Chinese recipes are a great way to use up leftover cooked ham.

Be sure to refrigerate the leftover ham within 2 hours and use within 3 to 4 days. Ham can also be frozen – for best results, use within 1 to 2 months.
